Application filed May 9,

To all whom vit/may concern: v v

Be it known that I, DAVID LoNDoN, a citizen of the United States, and a'resident of Baltimore,-Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes' pin Aprons, of which 'the `following is a My invention relates to an apron having pockets lfor holding clothes pins and similar articles and the main object of the invention 'resides in the provision of such an apron that'may be manufactured and sold very cheaply'.

A further object is to provide the apron with means whereby it may be conveniently hung when in use and when not in use, this means enabling the apron to be suspended to act as bagv for clothes pins andthe like when it is not desired to use the article as an apron on the person.

The above and other objects will be'ap parent vfrom the following description and the accompanying drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a view'of the front of the apron ;v Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig.1;and

Fig. 3 is sectional detail view 'on the line 3-.3 of Fig. 1. Y

Referrin -to the drawings in detail, the reference c araoter 10 designates the apron proper which may be of the shape shownor l pins and the like comprising a back sheet anyother suitable shape. The numeral 11 designates a flat sheet of material secured to the apron 10 at the edges thereof as shown` more clearly by Fig. 2. Referring to Fig. 2, it will be seen that the edge of the apron is inturned at 12 and is stitched to the edges of the sheet 11 and to the apron 10 near the edges thereof as isreadily apparent.

To provide a plurality of pockets for the apron the sheet 11 is stitched to the apron 10 as shown at 13. It is apparent that an apron having a plurality ofpockets is thus very easily and simply made. At the upper part of the apron 10, there is provided ahem 14` and secured to this hem at its ends are apron strings 15, and at the center of the hem 1s an y 1923. serial no. 637,695.

shown more clearly by Fig.v

a Washer 17, the former being' provided-With i eyelet- 2O which is secured to the hem as i a vcollar 18 which is bent back as shown at 19 to hold the-washer 17 biplace, the fabric i or materialof the apron being secured between the washers as clearly shown. `The eyelet is preferably` of brass although it may be made of other metals or materals. The advantage of the eyelet will be apparent..

In use the apron'is worn in the usual way I being secured to the wearer by the strings 15. If it is not desired to suspend the apron 'fromv the person, it may be hung fromany convenient means by the eyelet 20, as is ob viou's, this eyelet also serving the purpose of hanging the apron when not in use.

I have shown and described an apron .which may be made of any suitable material in a cheapand convenient way and which .maybeused as above described when hanging clothes; The bestmode of makin the Aapron is as above described butl it. mig t be that certain sli ht changes will suggest themselves and al such changes are'considered as part of the invention defined by the following claim.

lIelaving thus described my invention, what I claim is:

Ai combined bag andapron for 'clothes' aving its bottom and side edges inturned,

a front sheet secured to said back sheet between the inturned edges thereof by stitch-v ing passing therethrough, -said front sheet being also secured to said back sheet interback sheet, apron strings secured to said f reinforcing strip, and an eyelet secured toV said reinforcing strip whereby the apron may be suspended'to constitute" a bag.

In testimonywhereof, I hereunto aixmy signature. v 1 DAVID LONDON. 1
